Your Morning Wake-Up Call for July 5, 2011

By Chuck Sudo in News on Jul 5, 2011 12:30PM

Here's the downside to a four-day weekend: getting back to your normal routine on a Tuesday. Here's hoping today's forecast, with all its attendant humidity, provides some motivation for you. Both Skilling Central and Accuweather are forecasting the mugginess to amplify this afternoon with a high near 90, the latest in a good run of post-hail sunshine. Accuweather predicts thunderstorms late tonight; Skilling says the rain and cloud cover dominates tomorrow.

While you're getting back into the swing of things, pick up a broom and sweep up the fireworks you fired off last night.
